    First impression of my i4 from a current V6 manual owner

    My sales guy is over the moon with the i4....I'm awaiting delivery so I can't comment. The hp/tq numbers are compelling I guess

    Lowered My Emira

    Looks great....assuming 10-15mm lowering? Are you going to space or stick with oem offset?

    2024 lotus Emira first edition with GT4 replica spoiler hand painted and installed by a professional!

    I thought it was a bit big at first but it's growing on me, especially in that blue. Could be balanced a bit more with carbon side shirts, splitter, etc. No denying this variant must look pretty sick coming at you.

    Free Lowering with factory setting VS. GRP lowering kit

    Totally agree....isn't that the primary goal? Why use non hubcentric and be subservient to human error. Non hubcentric tend to cause vibration over time, usually at higher speeds at a higher percentage than hubcentric. By the way, road forces absolutely effect torque specs over a given...

    Free Lowering with factory setting VS. GRP lowering kit

    Of course proper wheel installation, proper road force balance and torque applications are important but I would assume that's a given. Spacer manufacturing including material used, machine process, hubcentricity, slip-on vs bolt, install prep of said spacer have just as much impact on what...

    Free Lowering with factory setting VS. GRP lowering kit

    Ride quality refers to handling, dampening rebound, etc....vibration refers to what driver feels at wheel or seat of pants. Maybe we let the driver who actually made the modifications answer the question (if he chooses)?😀

    i4 dct slow gear shifting

    I see you're from Germany? European cars have 360hp and no DCT re calibration as of your build. CEO of Lotus North America was adamant about US cars getting 400hp and DCT tune.
